Coast to Coast South

A whole variety of experiences rolled out over nineteen states, from the Northeast to the tip of Florida and on through vast open plains, national parks, mountains and canyons to the Wild West and the sparkling Pacific Coast. You'll pass through tribal lands and the towering buttes of Monument Valley, listen to vibrant Jazz and Blues in New Orleans and hike the awe-inspiring trails at the Grand Canyon, all of which make this one heck of a road trip, wouldn't you agree?

Days 4 Charleston

The oldest city in South Carolina, this places just oozes character and what better way to experience it than with a stroll along the coast.
